Description

GUIDE PRICE ***£500,000 - £550,000***

We are delighted to present this truly charming and well-balanced five-bedroom detached house, enviably positioned in a private and secluded setting within the sought-after village of St Osyth.

Set within grounds extending to over one acre, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy complete privacy and tranquillity, making it ideal for families or those seeking a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Surrounded by its own land, the property enjoys a high degree of seclusion, with mature boundaries and open space creating a calm and undisturbed environment throughout. The generous plot is allowing for a true sense of escape while still being conveniently located.

Internally, the home offers five well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom with en-suite facilities, alongside a large family bathroom. The ground floor features two charming cottage-style reception rooms, providing cosy yet versatile living spaces, complemented by a well-appointed kitchen and separate utility room.

The impressive upstairs is light-filled and thoughtfully designed, offering additional flexible accommodation perfectly suited to modern family living.

Externally, the property continues to excel in both space and privacy. A substantial gravel driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a large brick-built garage. The expansive gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with a patio area, ideal for outdoor entertaining while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Two outbuildings (in need of renovation) offer further potential, and the grounds extend down towards St Osyth Creek, enhancing the sense of seclusion and natural beauty. A striking willow tree sits centrally within the grounds, adding to the property’s charm and character.

Further benefits include solar panels, oil-fired heating, double glazing, and a septic tank system, supporting an efficient and self-sufficient lifestyle.

A rare opportunity to acquire a private countryside home offering space, seclusion, and a truly peaceful setting.
